With the GPL source, it's possible to make a game from scratch not using any of the copyrighted content found in Shadow Warrior but just with the same code. Yeah I mentioned the same with Duke3D, but maybe this project might have more of a point. I don't think i'll lead it though (Dunno who would)
But some things:
- the maps, art and sound included could showcase the talents of the duke/sw community
- probably start off as a deathmatch game as a first focus (i.e. not focusing on monsters and sp elements and maps)
- it'd just be a single .grp file of course
- I don't know how the .art files would be all parsed together, but i know it isn't handled the same way freedoom has deutex trees
- none of the offensive chinese stereotype crap such as the excessive use of "wang" or maybe none of the so called objectional content either, except blood. A ninja should kick ass, not jerk off somewhere :P

You sound like you're probably from the USA. I dont know whats the deal with US people and so called "offensive content". There is no offensive or objectional content in SW. Americans take sensorship way too far. And what's wrong with jokes about jerking off? :P
But uhm, good luck with the project anyway. I think a good place to start would be creating a hi-res pack, like they did for Duke. That's all original art already, so you'd have a big load of original textures and models to start with, plus SW owners can use that to make their game look better :P

Actually i'm not offended, but it's always better safe than sorry. :P

Safe?, even the horrid (I'm not even judging the in-your-face racist content but the unvelibable mediocre use of a fairly limited engine) Ethnic Cleansing was legally allowed to be sold online and I'm sure it could have hit a handful of stores if they bothered aming such market.
